    This is good news. But you know, just to be on the safe side, let’s all go vote for Joe anyway.

    "Propelled by female voters in just the past few weeks, the head-to-head tie with Trump morphs into a modest lead for Biden.”

    I got an idea, let’s attack Taylor Swift! That’ll help with our female-voter gap!

        I think Swift’s main demographic is actually in the bracket 16-25 so plenty of voters there. The younger teens are, generally, into more fresh/new acts and stuff with more of an edge. Swift has been around for a long time now.

          Yeah it might skew even higher than that. I’d say up to mid 30s almost at this point.

    Also interesting to note that the this same poll has Haley beating Biden by 5 points if Trump is not on the ballot and Haley is the Republican nominee .

    However, put Biden and Haley on a larger ballot with RFK Jr and the other nobodies running on 3rd party tickets, and Biden ends up winning again.

      There is also zero chance Trump doesn’t run. Either he’s the nominee or he runs third-party and splits the vote. His ego (and legal trouble) simply won’t allow him to sit this one out.

      If Trump is not the nominee, or if he is judicially removed from the ballot, then he will still run as a write-in candidate.

      And even if he doesn’t run a write-in campaign, plenty of his supporters will write him in anyway

      And even if he would get struck by lightning and pass away prior to November, his supporters would likely just write in Don Jr or Vivek or someone similar.

      Under no circumstances is Nikki Haley ever getting even 80% of Trump supporters to vote for her in November. And if she can’t get that, then there is no way she can beat Biden. A Nikki Haley victory in 2024 is not plausible

        Biden could also die before the election. He’s no spring chicken. Then maybe we get Haley vs Harris? Or some other dems jump into the primary race.

        or if he is judicially removed from the ballot, then he will still run as a write-in candidate.

        He’s being removed from the ballot in states because they consider him ineligible to be president. That’s not something that gets solved by a write-in.

          That doesn’t change the fact that his supporters will write him in even if he is found dead on the shitter

    It’s far easier to break things than maintain or build upon them. Always has been the case and always will. Such is entropy.

    I confess Biden wasn’t even my third choice in the 2020 primaries. But I voted for him anyway, and I’ll vote for him again. Because, truly: democracy, equality, justice, truth, and the planet itself is on the line.
